To show you how that could look like I put my MBP under stress (wasn't  
easy ;-)

this is just to give you an idea how that probably looks like.
But then, if that occurs occasionally or even rarely its probably hard  
to track down this way.

Just that I asked that: The lower RAM-slot died in my old PoBo from  
one moment to the next and I didn't notice
(degraded the amount of memory from 1.5GB to 0.5GB).  Just an idea.
But I don't think that's the case - I'm sure you checked that.
Then again, did you run a thorough hardware test?
I estimate that your PoBo is some 4 years old, shit can happen and  
memory or other electronic components can die slowly.

Prost!  ;-)
